I first saw Jason Downing & Musketeer Gripweed play at the Colorado Sustainable Living fair, and was impressed by their energy and vibe. From vocal jams to slide blues, folk, and something in between Bob Dylan and The Band and the Allman Brothers, JD&MG manages to carve out a sound that has drawn attention from Denver to Summit County in Colorado, as well as many states nationally. вЂќJason Downing & Musketeer GripweedвЂ™s first CD вЂњPeace Will Win!вЂќ really showcases the talent of this decidedly different Colorado band.

вЂњ.and at times the bandвЂ™s jams dig deeper than most, while returning with several songs in a row that are shorter in length-focusing on powerful lyrics and songwriting, and therefore making the show accessible for all listeners!вЂќ вЂ“N. Grossman - Mountain Vibe Magazine December 04'

Super Soul, Free Tunes, and this performer has me believing in the power of the blues. The set concluded with Jason chanting 'Peace Will Win!', and passing out over a hundred free CDs to random audience members. Between the old distorted harmonica microphone, Jason's heartfelt singing, and the dirty sounding slide guitar, I was thrown into the crowded audience and found myself singing 'The Reefer Song' at the top of my lungs (a song which I found myself humming again in the shower the next morning). His acoustic set made me boogie and LISTEN, with wailing harmonica that is rare to hear in bands today (particularly on a scene that is more Jam Band oriented). I was lucky enough to catch Jason a performance at Denver's Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom, during a brief, but JAMMIN', opening slot for North Mississippi Allstars. It seems as if Jason Downing has uncovered what Colorado is missing, soul. ''The Answer to Colorado's Missing Soul' by R. Jason's Band: Musketeer Gripweed The Mishawaka Amphitheatre, Fort Collins. Next show for Jason Downing: Mary's Lake Lodge, Estes Park.

Visit (Jason's fantastic band project, Musketeer Gripweed) and get on board the Soul train, get your Free music, and boogie till you drop.

The quality of his original material stands out amongst the songwriters on the front range, and I was able to listen in more detail later in the evening, after I received one of the dozens of free CDs that were passed out by Jason as part of what he calls 'Platinum for Pocketchange' drive to pass out 1 million CDs for free or pocketchange.

Jason's strong voice and wild energy was a great surprise, in a time where vocal prowess in bands seems to be an afterthought to technical wizardry. This scene was the energy high point of the entire evening, and left me wanting more, much more. With Silver Dobro in hand, Jason Downing proceeded to rage, rumble, and roll through a set of deep blues and acoustic soul.calling out 'poorman, stuck in the middle, should have known better', Downing played the gritty tune, and by its end had jumped out of his seat, left his guitar behind, and proceeded to lead the entire crowd in a call and response gospel number (Great Change) with hands clappin', and the entire Aggie singing. If you haven't heard of Jason Downing, smack yourself a bit, and open your ears WIDE! I was hit right when I walked into the Aggie Theatre with a wall of sound, coming from one man.
